Why it was refused

  1. The proposed illuminated advertisement, located on Clapham Road within the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) and the CS7 cycle route, would introduce a visually prominent display likely to distract drivers and cyclists, resulting in harm to highway safety and the operation of this strategic route. The structure would also add unnecessary street furniture. The proposal therefore conflicts with London Plan Policies T2, T4, and D8, and the objectives of the Mayor's Vision Zero strategy, and T9 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021)
  2. The proposed Street Hub with advertisements would not sustain or reinforce local distinctiveness, would fail to provide a contextual design response, and would not integrate with the established character of the area. They would contribute to unacceptable visual clutter to the detriment of nearby heritage assets and the public realm. In this case, the removal of two kiosks does not outweigh the identified harm arising from the introduction of a digital advertisement unit at this sensitive location. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies T9, Q5, Q6, Q17, Q20, Q22 and Q23 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
